Essentially, this research tells us that highly productive people are characterized by three interlocking clusters of ability, these clusters being above average (though not necessarily superior) ability, task commitment, and creativity."

We are all so different largely because we all have different combinations of intelligences. If we recognize this, I think we will have at least a better chance of dealing appropriately with the many problems we face in the world."

It summarizes a study administered to access the outcomes of early identification and schooling among a group of highly gifted students. There is information on the realities of schools, the expectations of others, and the choices that the gifted make as adults. The authors propose that reported reflections of these now older subjects can help in the gifted development of future students.
